    Welp, it kinda comes implicitly with using MOO, imho :-)

    Well, more or less the same story here... And I can say a lot more folx
    in the MetroMOO have had and will have similar experiences... Kind of a
    Quantum Leap effect, yes ? :) "The lives you touched, Sam, touched others.
    And those, others!" (Says the barkeeper/god/time to Sam, in the final
    episode)

    And I want to say something too :-) Something i've been telling myself
    and others in the MetroMOO and outside it: The best way to honor Pavels
    work and (programming) philosophy, is to try and emulate it. Imagine
    yourself writing code everyone uses, like MOO. Code that could change the
    face of this world. Would you make it freely accessible, for others to
    use, read and /learn from/? Further more, would you put so tremendous an
    effort in supporting it ? I really hope I have the stamina and
    determination to, when (and if :-) i get to make such a decision...

    Which makes me wonder.... Pavel revealed a little bit about the history
    and the roots of LambdaMOO... How about the rest ? Does anyone want to
    share stories about /how/ LambdaMOO came to be as it is ? The name
    LambdaMU^HOO seems obvious, but it also sounds like there is a whole story
    behind it :-) How far back does the MOO-Cows archive go ? Anyone have the
    energy to compile (excuze-le-mot) a history of LambdaMOO ? (Doesn't have
    to be Pavel of course)

    Regards,
    	Thomas.
